Crime is now being viewed through an entirely racialised lens – but only when the perpetrators aren't white.
When Chas Corrigan stabbed a Saudi student to death, or Paul Doyle mowed down Liverpool fans, white people didn't have to fear being a target of collective retaliation.
Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq War, an illegal war that killed over a million people.
As Health Secretary, he helped drive NHS privatisation.
He joined Labour Friends of Israel, opposed BDS as “spiteful”, praised Israel as a “democracy”, and called the Balfour Declaration “British values in action”. He is a Zionist.
Stop pretending he’s a radical alternative, he’s more of the same.
@Dean_y_ There's also an inaccuracy on SAlt's section where it calls the Platform For A Democratic Party another name we have used. It included one of our members but was always mainly non-members eg ken loach, ian hodson, naomi wimborne-idrissi

Loads of us complained about the restrictive wording even before the vote, because it was obvious we were being presented with a stitch up. The celebration was that the discussion so emphatically endorsed speakers speaking out against witch hunts

@thisisyourparty The CEC is killing YP! The proto branches are the only real positive out of all this now. We should ignore the ban, keep building, and prepare for the Connections conference which is now more important than ever.

@matthewjswalker True that its politics are awful, but it's set to be pretty huge regardless. Rather than oppose from the sidelines, itd be better to build a clear independent, socialist pole to put fwd an alternative to the dreadful politics of the organisers. The YP bloc is a good initiative
